Redirect

[Lisa]

Hi,
I am trying to create a file and then download it to the users browser.
When the user clicks on a filename in a jsp-page a getFile method in my
MultiAction subclass is called. This metod creates the file and then it
redirects to an URL that can display the file. The redirect looks like this:

String url = "download.do?type=file&period=" +
    info.getTabellInfo().getPeriod() + "&filename=" + fileName;
((ServletExternalContext)context.getExternalContext()).getResponse().sendRedirect(url);

My flow xml file looks like this:

view-state id="bekrafta" view="flows/bekrafta">
	<render-actions>
		<action bean="formAction" method="setupForm"/>
	</render-actions>
	<transition on="previous" to="preGor" />
	<transition on="next" to="postBekrafta">
        <action bean="formAction" method="bindAndValidate">
			<attribute name="validatorMethod" value="validateGor"/>
		</action>
      </transition>
	<transition on="getFile" to="getFile"/>
</view-state>

<action-state id="getFile">
	<action bean="gorAction"/>
	<transition on="success" to="preBekrafta"/>
</action-state>

The file gets displayed in the browser, but the problem is that there is an
exception on the server: java.lang.IllegalStateException "Request processing
failed". Is it because you can´t do both a redirect and have a transition in
the getFile action??? Or.....???

I use Spring web Flow 1.0.2.

Thanks! :-)

Hi,
If someone else has the same problem here is how I
solved it:

<view-state id="bekraftaLon" view="smb/flows/bekraftaLon">
	<render-actions>
		<action bean="formAction" method="setupForm"/>
	</render-actions>
	<transition on="previous" to="preGorLon" />
	<transition on="next" to="postBekraftaLon">
        <action bean="formAction" method="bindAndValidate">
			<attribute name="validatorMethod" value="validateGorLon"/>
		</action>
      </transition>
	<transition on="getFile" to="getFile"/>
</view-state>

<view-state id="getFile">
	<render-actions>
		<action bean="gorLonAction" method="getFile"/>
	</render-actions>
	<transition on="success" to="bekraftaLon"/>
</view-state>

I changed <action-state id="getFile"> to <view-state id="getFile">.
